Ih FIBA tournaments, he is an excellent coach. Too many medals with his national team, eurobasket, world cup, summer olympics.
It's not easy to find a coach more successful the last 20 years.
Euroleague is another beast. In Euroleague and local leagues (Spanish league, Italian League, Russian League) he is good but not great, he has some successes and many failures.
Overall, he is undeniably a goood coach, however, there are better European coaches than him, Obradovic (best European coach), Pablo Lasso, Xavi Pasqual, Itoudis. If i could choose a coach in my Greek team, i would prefer even Ataman, Bartzokas, Radonic and others than him.
Scariolo is an excellent manager. He is capable of managing too many European superstars with big Ego in a tournament lasting 15-20 days, and that's a special skill. But if you throw him in Spanish/Italian/Greek/Turkish league, asking him to get the championship, he is not equally great.
Is he related to Ted Lasso ?
